Thk following Register is desigaed as an introduction to a biographical and genea- logical dictionary, which shall comprehend concise sketches of those individuals who hare been known and distinguished in the annals of New-England. If the health of the compiler should admit of the completion of such a work in the manner contem- plated, it will contain biographical accounts of many persons here but slightly noticed, aadaeoQtinaation of eminent persons from the cIo^jb of the seventeenth century to the present time. An arrangement of names like the following, in this age of antiquarian research and iaoHLiry, seemed to be wanted. We are all curious to know something respecting tboee who have preceded us on the stage of action ; and there has begun a curiosity among many of the present generation to trace back their progenitors, in an uninter- mpted series, to those who first landed on the bleak and inhospitable shores of New- England, And it is not improbable that the arrival of the puritan fathers of New- Eagland will form a more memorable epoch in history than the Conquest of England does in that country, and that posterity, a few centuries hence, will experience as mnch pleasure in tracing back their ancestry to the New-England colonists, as some of the English feel in being able to deduce their descent from the Normans. There is a satisfaction in recognizing our first ancestor from the European conti- nent 5 in knowing from what part of Great-Britain he came 3 where he settled, and the circumstances and condition of his family. Owing to the trials and hardshipfi en- dared by the first settlers of New-England, the uncertainty of their remaining in the GOimtry, and the little time afforded them for recording family data and genealogical facts, there are but few families, who have full and complete satisfaction in each of these particulars. But some facts, even at this late period, might be known of al- most every individual who settled in any of the colonies, if suitable patience, research, and industry were employed in collecting them. Our earliest records and memori- als are full of information, and in regard to minuteness and accuracy will bear a com- parison with those of modem date 3 and it is somewhat remarkable that so large a portion of them have escaped the many perils to which fire and the aboriginal wars exposed them. But many town records are in a decaying state, and those in whose hands they are deposited are highly culpable that they do not use their efforts to have them fairly and correctiy transcribed. The following work is intended to contain the names of a large portion of the First Settiers, of the most prominent, as well as the more humble 3 of those who had '' to level forests, where savage beasts and savage men had roamed for ages, and to make comfortable dwelling places amidst a wide and gloomy wilderness.'^ But no one can reasonably expect it to contain the names of aU who early came to New-England. To bring the names ofaU from their musty and moth-eaten concealment would be a labonr beyond the power of a single individual. The object in the progress of the uidertsking has been to give, I. The names of the Magistrates, and Ministers of the Gospel, in all the New- Eagiaod colonies from 1620 to 1692. II. The Deputies or Representatives of the General Court, of the colony of Mas- aachnsetts, from 1634 to the commencement of government un^r the new charter ofiew. Digitized by Google IV PREFACE. III. The Grsduates of Harvard College, and'the Members of the Ancient and Honoarable Artillery Company, from the date of those institutions until 1662. IV. The Freeman admitted to the Massachusetts colony, in the colony records, from 1630 to 1662. V. The names of all such Emigrants, both freemen and non-freemen, as could be collected, who had come over to the several colonies before 1643. Besides those coming under these several heads, there have been given the names of many others, especially those who were the first of the name and family in the country, down to Philip's war in 1675. The four first objects (excepting a complete list of the counsellors of Rhode-Island) have been principally attained, and some idea of the deficiencies of the last may be had from a consideration of the number of per^ sons, who had come to New-England from the first arrival at Plymouth to the year 1643, to which period it was originally the aim of the compiler to limit his inquiries. Former writers have differed in their statements of the number who had come ti> this section of the country before 1640, when, according to Johnson, emigration " oniy for enjoyment of exercising the ordinances of Christ, and enlargement of his king^ dom,'' ceased. But other causes operated to draw people from England, and it is not unlikely that there continued to be accessions of new settlers for, at least, the first half century from the beginning. Governour Hutchinson, in the preface to the first volume of his history of Massachusetts, says, " In the first ten years, about twen- ty thousand souls had arrived in Massachusetts.'' ** Since then," he observes, '^ it is supposed more have gone from hence to England than have come from thence hither." Dr. Cotton Mather, who wrote in 1697, says, '^ the number who did actually arrive at New«-England before the year 1640, have been computed about four thousand/' which we must charitably suppose to mean/amtZt<«, for before that period three fourths of that number ofindimduaia had come over in a single year. He also says, that after 1640 far more went out of the country than came into it. But Johnson, who wrote in 1651, within eight years of the time to which he makes his computation, and who had better means of knowing the truth than either Mather or Hutchinson, says, the number ** for fifteen years space, to the year 1643, of men, women, and children, passing over this wide ocean, as near as at present can be gathered, is supposed to be 21,200, or thereabouts." This calculation of Johnson seems to embrace the whole of New-England, from the time of Endecott's arrival at Salem, in 1628, to 1643, while Hutchinson gives nearly the same number of emigrants to Massachusetts alone, within two thirds of the period mentioned by Johnson. Allowing five persona to have constituted a family, the number of male heads of families, if we regard John- son's computation as correct, would exceed 4000, whose names should find a place in a perfect register of the emigrants to New-England during the first twenty-three years from the settlement at Plymouth. But, as many of the earliest settlers return- ed to England, or removed to other places, their proportion to those who remained can never be ascertained, and some deduction should therefore be made. Of the most of those who left, nothing very satisfactory can be obtained ; and as they quit- ted the country at a time when their aid and services were most needed, we feel less solicitous to know their history, than of those who endured the heat and burden of the day. The assertion so often made, that more persons have gone from New-England to England since 1640, than have come from thence hither, probably originated witfi Mather, who misunderstood the language of Johnson, and was perpetuated by Hutch- inson, and has been adopted by succeeding writers of reputation. A little reflection may satisfy almopt any one that if the remark was true in 1651, only eight years after the check given to emigration by the more favourable condition of the puritans in England, a lapse of forty-six years would be likely to affect the truth of it in 1697, Digitized by Google PITEFACE. V and it would appear still further from the truth in 1760, when Ootttnotu Itutchiiison wrote his history. The first settlers of Plymouth colony were separatists from the Church of England. Some of them had early embraced the sentiments of Robert Brown, but were re- duced to milder principles under the tolerant and catholick Robinson. Those who settled the colony of Massachusetts were Puritans, toho had not geeeded from the egtabliahed church. They were of that class of Episcopalians who had long laboured for reform in the ri'tes and ceremonies of the church, and had contended that these should be regulated ** by the rules of Scripture, and that nothing should be maintain- ed which did not rest on that authority .'' * They had been chiefly born and brought up in the National Church, and had, until their emigration, lived in communion with her. Their ministers had been ordained by her bishops, and had officiated in her parochial churches, and had made no secession from her until they left their native land.' They had long desired to establish churches in their worship, form, matter, and discipline, after what they conceived to be the model of the New Testament. They had long been persecuted by grievous impositions, by fines and imprisonments. But it seems that they did not relinquish the principles of a National Church, and of the power of the civil magistrate in matters of faith and worship. We know that in exercising this power our fathers greatly erred, but they erred in common with others of that age. The mild and forbearing principles of toleration were then hardly^ knovrn, and had seldom been practised. On the character of the great body of the following list, the compiler has not time nor ability to dwell. With a late writer, he believes that " the early colonists of New-England were on the whole a highly respectable community. Many of them were among the best specimens of what was then, and is now, the better class of so- ciety in England — its well educated commonners — ^men superiour, perhaps, to any of their successors in deep and extensive learning, and second to none for fervent piety, for their integrity and disinterested patriotism. But that all the early settlers of New-England were of this description is a supposition which, though it sometimes seems to have been taken for granted, is manifestly absurd. There were some in humble circumstances ; poor, but respectable ; and there were others needy adven- turers, who depended on finding in a remote settlement the subsistence which they were unwilling to procure by honest exertion in their native land.'' It is needless to observe to those acquainted with such labour, that much time has been bestowed on the compilation. The colony records of Massachusetts and Plymouth, the county records of Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex, and the ancient county of Norfolk, (now extinct) the ancient records of New-Hampshire, and those of many of the most amcient towns in Massachusetts and Plymouth have been partially exam- ined 5 and a large number of books and pamphlets, from which information could be gleaned, have been consulted. The compiler would not pretend that he has person- ally examined all the records named. It has been principally through the aid afford- ed by his friends and correspondents in the places where those publick records are kept, that he has been able to avail himself of the facta they contain. To Mr. Fran- cis Jackson, one of the representatives of Boston, he is particularly indebted, not only for the list of freeman from 1630 to 1662, and the list of representatives or dep- uties to the General Court of Massachusetts from 1634 to 1692, but for various other information respecting the early families of Boston, and most of the towns in its im- mediate vicinity. He is also under many obligations for the assistance afforded by their communications, to Mr. Joshua Coffin, of Newbury, Mr. Alonzo Lewis, of Lynn, Rev. Joskph B. Felt, of Hamilton, and Mr. Lemuel Shattuck, of Concord.
